WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Blue Jays Steal Win From Garnet
BALTIMORE — A battle among two of the best front-court duos in the Centennial developed as expected, yet it was the back court play that was the deciding factor in a 78-45 Johns Hopkins victory over Swarthmore in Centennial womenÃs basketball action Saturday afternoon at Goldfarb Gymnasium. Playing on the road for the first time this season, Swarthmore (2-3 overall, 1-1 CC) was led by freshman forward Kathryn Stockbower who collected her fourth double-double in five games, scoring a game-high 15 points to go along with 12 rebounds.
